Really you're coming for the view and vibe more than the food. It's very neat to be able to see a view of DC while rotating. Parking in the garage, which the restaurant will validate for up to 2 hours (with a purchase of an entree). We got the chicken ($36), salmon ($35), and burger ($28)- I think the burger was the tastiest but it doesn't come with lettuce/tomato (you have to ask for it)- the fries weren't it though. Chicken was alright, salmon was eh. Again not here for the food. All in all with a Diet Coke and a lemonade it came out to $120. They do give you mid bread (kind of cold, kind of warm- seems like this Hawaiian rolls). read more

My wife and I joined two friends for dinner at the Skydome Restaurant atop the DoubleTree in Crystal City on a recent Saturday night to celebrate a birthday during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Reservations were easy to make, we were seated very quickly, the chairs were comfortable, and the ambiance was beautiful. It is hard to beat a rotating restaurant and the views it offers. The food was excellent. We tried the prix fixe Cherry Blossom special, which included a choice of short ribs or salmon, and both were very good. The specialty drinks for the occasion were excellent, the desserts were very good, and the overall experience was memorable. My only concern was the service. I am not sure whether it was because it was late in the evening, but our waiter seemed very disengaged. For a restaurant that presents itself this well, I would expect the service staff to be much more attentive and invested in the guest experience. We would return, but I would prefer not to be served by him again. read more

You come here for the view, not the food or the service. My dad has a kind of funny fixation on revolving restaurants that are atop a tall tower for skyscraper views. So when my parents and I were in DC for the weekend, he really wanted us to come here for a meal. There is a parking garage underground, the entrance is kind of hard to find but it's close to the hotel lobby entrance. You have to take two different sets of elevators to get to the restaurant. There are some couches in the middle where you wait if you're early before your table is ready. Once my family and I were finally sat at our table, it took forever for the wait staff to come and take our order. And on top of that, they messed up our order and didn't bring us the roasted chicken entree. The server blamed me for my wording...we didn't want it in the end because they had taken so long for everything that we were worried that we were gonna be here longer than the free 2 hour parking validation. No dessert or anything, we were just so annoyed by the experience that we wanted to leave asap. I usually at least take a look at the dessert menu, but not this time. Taste of the food was actually not bad, the salmon and milk bread were really good. It's just too bad that service was so slow. read more

View is amazing. The rotating lounge ensures everyone gets the beautiful view regardless of where you sit. The food was pretty good. The drinks were not good and the service was SLOW! The price is HIGH because you are paying for the incredible view. read more

I can't believe it took us so long to find this place! A friend and I came here for Arlingtons restaurant week ($65 pp/3 courses) and absolutely loved the food and the beautiful view. We had a reservation but we did still have a wait, and it would have been longer if we wanted to wait for a window seat but that was mainly due to other customers taking their time which they can't really control. When we were seated, our waiter was very kind and attentive. We were both blown away by the food, we got the little gem salad and crab arancini for the 1st course, roasted chicken and petit filet mignon for the 2nd course, and the apple tart and espresso chocolate mousse for the 3rd course and everything was delicious. We didn't get any drinks this time, but their cocktail list was diverse and I'd be interested in getting something next time. Parking is a little confusing as they need to give you a card so you don't need to pay and the hotel itself is a little older but all in all, a great find! read more

Got recommended to come here. It has such a nice view. You can walk in and they have a bar that you can go to just to get drinks. After we got our drinks, they are about to close and we asked if we can sit at the tables. The staff say us in an inside table. We ended up ordering some fries and drinks. The waiter was super nice. I he was busy running around so my water did take a while to come. But the view made the wait unnoticeable. read more

Skydome Restaurant - Drink menu - Lounges Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The waiters were very nice and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was beautiful, with a unique setup, though the seating area felt a little crowded. As the inner section rotated, I noticed it was even a bit challenging for the staff to get through. Still, the overall setting was relaxing, especially with the stunning night view. For food, we ordered the shrimp pasta, which was delicious, everyone really enjoyed it. The salmon was also tender and flavorful. I ordered the ribeye, which interestingly came as two smaller cuts instead of one big slab (not sure if that's how they serve it), but it was cooked just the way I like, medium. The dish came with classic sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus, and I loved it. Service could have been a little sharper at times, but the staff were genuinely kind and not snobby at all. We forgot to ask if Skydome validates parking, but overall, it was a fun restaurant to experience, definitely worth trying at least once! I forgot to take a picture of the salmon and shrimp pasta dish. read more

The view was absolutely beautiful. I can imagine this is a great place to go on business meetings etc or maybe a special occasion. The prices were not as bad as many other places in the area.

This was our first time at the skydome. The parking for this restaurant is ridiculous. The parking lot was full and the road areas were as well. We missed our reservation time due to being unable to find a parking spot. Once we found the skydome, everything was nice. The view and the food, but the parking makes one decide to pick another place. You need to designate a parking area for the guest of the skydome. This place is not cheap and the parking should not be this difficult to find for this restaurant. The only down side is it is located in the hotel! read more

Not a bad place if you are staying in the Double Tree Hotel because the view is great and the overall vibe is relaxing. The food was not spectacular, but I went here for the experience which was pleasant. I would definitely go again. I would recommend doing a reservation online to avoid the possible wait times during dinner hours. read more

4 Overall (3 food & 5 views) View is great and navigating to the Skydome is an adventure itself (multiple elevators). Overlooks the pentagon, DC, DCA. It is expensive and the food is not great. I think the drinks and dessert were fine. Service was fine. It's funny - although tables are typically numbered in restaurants, you can actually see the table numbers here (given the rotating it would be impossible otherwise). There was a very small bar that 2 people were sitting at that wasn't rotating. read more

This was my very first time dining at the Skydome and it certainly won't be the last. It has the BEST panoramic views of the DC skyline. We had reservation and we were sat right down. The hostess and our server Adil provided excellent service. The cocktails along with the Brussels sprouts and their flat bread was delicious. Everything was cooked fresh and plated nicely. This place gives you an exceptional experience. read more

We were looking for some place special to celebrate our anniversary and this fit the bill perfectly. All of the food was well prepared and tasty. Service was great. View was spectacular! We were not rushed out and got to experience 2 full rotations. Our reservation was at 7:00pm so we could enjoy the view during daylight and the sunset into the evening to see everything lit up. Wanted to get the crème brûlée but they ran out but chocolate mousse was good. We had the crab dip which had the best bread to go with it. Also had the salmon and the pasta entrees. Salmon was cooked perfectly. read more

This is a review for the July 4th party. We got tickets for the family-friendly party, which was held on the 14th floor of the hotel, just below the skydome. Tickets were $60 a week before the event, and rose up to $90 the day before the event. Five of us went, including my son (whose ticket was $40). This price did not include an additional 20% gratuity that was added on at checkout. Pros -Awesome views -Several different rooms and a "play room" for kids -Good variety of food, which I thought was tasty Cons Event was oversold and way too crowded. This meant that the hotel parking garage was completely full when we arrived, and all the street parking around the hotel was taken. We had to park in a parking garage about 10 minutes away. The lines to check-in for the event and get food from the buffet were crazy long. They ran out of plates several times at the buffet (I would recommend that they use disposable plates in the future.) Guests were getting frustrated waiting in line. Seating was limited- there were not enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. (I would recommend removing the dance floor and setting up more tables and chairs. Barely anyone danced.) Non-alcoholic drinks, aside from water, coffee, and tea, were not included in the ticket price. I understand having a cash bar, but they could have at least provided soft drinks or juice. All in all, this event could be great, if they limited the number of tickets sold. I would have paid more per ticket, if it meant the event would be a lot less crowded. The tickets for the 21+ event in the skydome were $200, so I wonder if those guests had a different experience (even for that price, guests still had to deal with the limited parking and long check-in lines. Also, it wasn't an open bar for them.) I would not attend this event again due to the overcrowding. read more

Had a great dinner at Skydome restaurant! We had reservations for 5 and was immediately greeted when we arrived. Skydome's dining area rotates and gives you amazing views of the Pentagon, Washington Monument and the Potomac River. We ordered a charcuterie board for our appetizer and an old fashioned and I got a cosmo. For dinner we had cesear salad, crab cake sandwich and fries. It was all delicious. Will revisit this restaurant when I'm in the area again. read more

The fact that this is only 4 stars is on me, because both times I went to Skydome was right around the time of last call and haven't been able to savor their full menu. Reading it, the Americana classics menu runs the gamut from pasta & burgers to steak, along with a solid selection of sides. Similarly the cocktail menu. A 5-star experience starts with their bar staff, who even though I arrived two milliseconds before last call still made a couple of great cocktails. The excellence extends into the panoramic view of DC. If the night is close to full moon - even better! My drinks were their "Sunset Sipper", a smooth nightcap consisting of rum (my substitution), grapefruit juice, elderflower liqueur, honey syrup, and orange bitters. It was blended just right to unwind and have a smooth redeye flight back. Their Malibu Room Orange Bloom was another excellent cocktail. I look forward to returning soon! read more

I had a not-so-good pre-Valentine's Day experience. Called to speak to a manager and was told someone would get back to me the next business day. To date, a manager has not responded. The view/atmosphere was nice. The food was disappointing. Cold, dry, carted up from a different floor. Due to the kitchen being on a different floor, it took the wait staff longer than expected to bring items to the table. This is a short version of the disappointing evening. Since management cares so little about unhappy customers, I won't go back and don't recommend the over priced food due to the poor quality. read more

Food - I will give it one star - the crab cake sandwich was so not fresh that it was not edible. My mom stopped eating it after two bites to avoid getting sick. Please stay away from the cocktails - we ordered two, one is barely ok and the other one tasted like stinky dish washer. Service was quite slow on a Saturday night which I understand, but our side order was missing and they did take it off from the receipt at the end. Our server was so busy that he barely checked on us throughout the dinner. I was so frustrated when I asked twice for water. The only star that I gave was because of the view. It was a good view but not amazing kind. I've been to revolving restaurants in many cities around the world and this one is absolutely the worst. What a shame for the nation's capital. read more

Really enjoyed this spot. The view is absolutely fabulous, the service is great, and the rotating restaurant is a lot of fun. We ordered off their seasonal spring menu that was cherry blossom themed (this was a few months ago) and it was fabulous. I can't remember what I got exactly anymore (damn me for writing this review late), but I do remember that the salad I had to start was absolutely excellent (and had cherries). I would love to come back here and try more of their seasonal offerings. read more

Good viewing. Service and food were not up to standard!! Maybe do drinks and appetizers only. Definitely do not do a special occasion here !! read more

Was staying at the hotel so decided to come for dessert and wine to take in the view. We came right around sunset time so got to see DC at a beautiful hour from up high. The charcuterie board was very tasty but didn't include much. The wine list was good. I got the apple crisp for dessert which was warm and crispy. I loved have the ice cream in it's on dish so it didn't melt fast or get the crisp soggy. Service was quick and attentive but reservations or a must! read more

The food was amazing and delightful! It is restaurant week in Arlington where their menu consisted of delicious options for a vegetarian like myself. The service was amazing, the hostess guided us to the sky dome, our server was very kind, and everyone else was just genuinely nice. The ambiance is very relaxing, the view of the establishment was very lovely. The spinning was fun twist for dining. I definitely hope to go again in the future and with the position they're in I think they would do well if they offered a sunrise brunch special. read more

3.5 stars for Thanksgiving Buffet. I enjoyed it for the most part but there were a few things that could have made the meal better. THE GOOD: Sweet potato casserole was delicious and I had seconds Salmon was cooked nicely .. not overcooked Shrimp were tasty and fresh Mashed potatoes were buttery and good NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: 1- better and fresher dinner rolls to go with the dinner. The rolls were dry and not worth eating 2- CLASSIC CRANBERRY SAUCE was missing from this meal. They served cranberry Morstada which was too mustard like for my taste. Classic cranberry sauce (smooth or whole) was missing from this meal. 3- add coffee to the dessert table along with the apple cider read more

Absolutely yes! For your next sexy date this is the place to be! Now although DC, and the neighboring VA area isn't the highest place, if you want to go to Top of The World in Vegas without the flight - skydome is your spot! The rotating floor with views of Virginia to the national mall are stunning. The only cons are - in my humble opinion- the menus and the table/chairs could be elevated to create a more chic atmosphere overall. But the food was amazing and the wine selection is pretty good overall (just missing a sweet red!). The service was attentive and speedy and was open to letting me try wine options before settling on just one. Will definitely be back! read more

Skydome is a slightly hidden gem of a view of downtown DC and Arlington. Getting there requires following an almost yellow brick road in the Double Tree hotel, but the staff had no problem pointing us in the right direction and mentioning you have to change elevators at a certain level. We got there in time for our reservation, highly recommend a reservation. Drink menu is fantastic. Food menu decent. The prices reflect the elevated environment. Overall, the staff was great and I would come back for drinks and the view. Thanks! read more

This place was great for the view. But the service is what brought the rating down. The servers were slow to take our order and bring our drinks out. The place wasn't packed when we had sat down so wasn't sure why it took over 15 minutes to get drinks out. We ordered a smoked drink but then the waiter brought out an old fashion type drink just a fat block of ice and no smoke. We asked what happened to the smoke and he said oh our smoker isn't working... so not sure why he wouldn't mention that first when we ordered the drink. Also took a while to get our bill which was a bit annoying since we had been done for a bit and called the waiter over a bit ago The food was good ! read more

The DMV's own space needle! I don't know why this place isn't advertised more. It's right here in Crystal City. Shown as $$$ but really only $$. It rotates 360 degrees about once every hour.

Service was iffy, we waited an hour for the food, this could be a plus if you're enjoying the view, however the floor moves in a circle so everyone can get a great view, but it gave me slight motion sickness so unfortunately I felt that full hour that we were waiting on the food the food itself was definitely yummy though! read more

Celebrated our anniversary and he surprised me on this location. Pretty cool this exists in the DMV area. FYI, the "floor" moves SLOWLY in a circle so you can get the whole 360 view of DC. We ordered bread & a mushroom spread from the app menu, and I ordered the Salmon with a side of Riesling. Food isn't bad, but the serving is quite small and food is way overpriced. I would only recommend this spot for people that have not tried to experience the cool setting. I would not come here again though because you can get better food elsewhere and for better pricing. read more

This venue has so much potential... But unfortunately it doesn't translate with the vibe, drinks, menu and food as it currently is.

The charcuterie and the crab dip were delicious. If in area highly recommend. Cocktails are great too. One thing to note.

Service Wonderful, accommodating service. Our food was hot and delivered quickly and in timely fashion given we had three courses. Food The shrimp pasta was incredible and when I say they make that pasta al dente to perfection, they really did! I was told that the Seabass was equally delicious with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The appetizer was cheesy crab dip, which I enjoyed although slightly too much cheese, but still really good and rich. The baguettes served along with the crab dip or chewy surprisingly. Not crisp as though it was from an oven, but it was as though it were from a microwave oven. I returned it and kindly replaced it with pretzel bread, which was much better. Dessert was chocolate mousse, which was pretty good slightly too sweet and it could've been a little more chilled but overall it was good but I could not finish it. We shared it. Ambience Absolutely the best ambience ever the nighttime view is incredible. The daytime view is even nice. To see the monument and planes takeoff along with a perfectly dim restaurant. It was a great evening. However, we do have suggestions for a renovation of the layout. Get rid of the restroom all together and get rid of the bar altogether. Separate the revolving floor by an additional 6 feet from the door. We had a great server also- Robert. read more
